As the saying goes: 'Fish does not have garlic, cattle do not have leeks, sheep do not have ginger, pigs do not have pepper' What does it mean? Worth learning

Chinese culture not only reflects the wisdom and charm of individuals, but also in all aspects of life, such as our daily diet, many people say that garlic is a treasure, and eating it often is good for the body, of course, there are many proverbs, especially in cooking, many People use it so often that some people just take it literally.

For example, chefs of the older generation often say: fish is not garlic, cattle are not leeks, sheep are not ginger, and pigs are not pepper. Many people should not understand the true meaning, and the result is that the nutrition of the food itself is destroyed. can remind you.

fish not garlic

Common fish in life can be divided into three categories: warm in nature, cool in nature and flat in nature.

Warm nature - such as eel, loach, hairtail, grass carp. It can nourish blood and qi, but patients with hot constitution and skin diseases should eat as little as possible.

Cool

——Such as cuttlefish, soft-shelled turtle, squid, etc. Generally, people with hot constitution can eat more in summer.

Flat ones—such as yellow croaker, crucian carp, carp, etc. These fish can be eaten by people with cold and hot constitutions.

The so-called fish does not have garlic, in fact, it means that garlic should not be added when cooking fish. In the past, most people ate wild fish. Now that living conditions have improved, most of them are farmed fish, so the fishy smell will be heavier.

Garlic is an exciting seasoning on its own, and falsely adding it to fish can ruin the flavor of the fish itself. Now there are various cooking methods, more and more seasonings, sometimes garlic becomes an irreplaceable seasoning.

Garlic is also divided into many types, such as garlic kernels, garlic stems, garlic leaves, etc. As long as you pay attention to the method and order, fish is also delicious. So choose according to different cooking methods, whether to match.

Niu Bu Lie

Beef and leeks are common foods in life, with high nutritional value and delicious taste, such as dumplings stuffed with leeks, stewed beef brisket with potatoes, etc. If eaten alone, the nutritional value is really high, but leeks and beef may lose their original functions.

The beef itself is delicious, but the taste of leeks is very strong, accompanied by a spicy taste. When the two are combined, spicy food will directly cover the taste of beef. Eating too much will easily cause the body to get angry. The most common condition is mouth ulcers , or oral inflammation, is not conducive to maintaining health.

Another point is, cook beef without ingredients and pepper. The combination of the two will affect the nutrition of beef, and even have the opposite effect. Not only can it not achieve the effect of removing fishy smell, but it will even destroy the fragrance. You may not want to eat any more.

sheep not ginger

Ginger is old and spicy enough to prove that many people may not like the dry mouth of ginger, mainly because it contains a lot of gingerol. Ginger is rich in pungent and aromatic components, among which the pungent component is called a "zingerone" substance. We think that ginger tastes pungent and smells a special taste, which is related to this substance.

Therefore, when ginger is used, the effect of removing fishy smell and peculiar smell can be achieved. Lamb itself is a very fishy meat. There is nothing wrong with properly adding ginger to the cooking process.

But many people think of some photos, such as a person drinking ginger soup and sweating all over his body, some people eat mutton and drink mutton soup, and their whole body has a fever, so mutton with ginger will become "overwhelmingly hot", which is what we usually say of getting angry.

The reason put forward by the older generation of chefs is that "sheep does not have ginger", and we should stand from this angle. As for whether to put ginger when making mutton, I personally suggest to put less. If you mind, you can use other seasonings to remove the fishy smell.

pig not pepper

The price of pork is very low today, and many people prefer to eat pork ribs or shabu-shabu, maybe you have heard of "pigs without peppers".

In the perception of many people, it is best not to put chili when cooking pork. In fact, the chili here mainly refers to chili, which is a common seasoning. When cooking dishes, it can be added appropriately to enhance the taste.

However, it is best not to add it when stewing pork. The main reason is that it will turn the pork into a special firewood, which will seriously affect the taste.

Seeing this, maybe you already understand what it means to say "fish doesn't have garlic, beef doesn't have leeks, sheep doesn't have ginger, and pigs don't have pepper"? This should be regarded as left to us by the old man. I don't know if you think it's appropriate to do this?
